Baker - Arsonist Lyrics

You got me drunk
So I'd open up to you
So I'd tell you more
About what I wish I could afford to do
And you knew
Way too many things
I should've never said
I should've stopped in the beginning
A short fuse
And way too many strings
Attached that I couldn't even f*cking see
Now I drink to forget those memories
But I told you not to wait for me
So whose fault is that if you got hurt baby?
And I guess you can't be friends with me
Said we grew apart but now you say
You can't even stand to hear me sing
Mhm
Mhm hmm
I found a friend in the misery
But a flame was burning that I couldn't keep
And gasoline only adds to the fire
So I dropped your hand and broke the lighter
Hope you understand
Why I can't be your man
And I bought you boots and wrote my name
On the bottom right so you'd feel safe
Now you know you kissed
The lips of an arsonist
Now I feel stuck
Like my time was made of glue
And you let it dry
After I tried to give it all to you
And you do
Things so perfectly
I couldn't measure up
I couldn't be with you and give up my dream
I love you
But not the way you need
Someone to hold you like you're everything
I know damn well that I'll never be
I told you not to wait for me
So whose fault is that if you got hurt baby?
And I guess you can't be friends with me
Said we grew apart but now you say
You can't even stand to hear me sing
Mhm
Mhm hmm
I found a friend in the misery
But a flame was burning that I couldn't keep
And gasoline only adds to the fire
So I dropped your hand and broke the lighter
Hope you understand
Why I can't be your man
And I bought you boots and wrote my name
On the bottom right so you'd feel safe
But now you know you kissed
The lips of an arsonist
When you're telling all your friends you're the one who's hurting
Don't forget about the way we shared our burdens
In the back of the parking lot at the bar
Where you took home a boy who was drunk in your car
Mhm
And when you wonder what you did to deserve it
Don't expect me to be the bigger person
'Cause you made me feel so damn worthless
So if you think you smell something burning
It's the late nights that you spent with me
Said we were best of friends and had me convinced that you would never leave
By loving you I only made things worse
'Cause you add my name to the list you curse
Ruin all your plans
'Cause I can't be your man
And I held you close on the bench outside
'Cause I got so drunk I couldn't drive
Ignorance is bliss
But you made an arsonist
I found a friend in the misery
But a flame was burning that I couldn't keep
